1813
Murray and his force landed in Plattsburgh without opposition and began a
work of destruction. In spite of her assurances that private property and
unarmed citizens should be unmolested, in addition to destroying the
block-house, arsenal on Broad Street, armory and hospital and the military
cantonment at Fredenbergh Falls, two miles up the river, the British wantonly
burned three private store-houses, taking possession of hardware belonging to
the merchants of the city of Boston, and broke into and robbed private
dwellings. Judge Delord, Peter Sailly, Esq., Judge Palmer, Dr. Miller,
Bostwick Buck, Jacob Ferris and Major Platt were among the losers.
1814
Macomb's brigade, consisting of the 6th, 13th, 15th, 16th and 29
Regiments set out in boats from Cumberland Head for Chazy Landing while
Bissell's brigade, comprising the 5th, 14th, 30th, 31st, 33rd, 34th and 45
Regiments, started for Chazy by land. There were now 4,500 men at or in
the rear of the village of Champlain. Invalids and 200 effective were left
to finish the works on the Head while a working party of 400 under Col. Fenwich
were completing the three redoubts in that village.
